I have always been socially anxious but ironically I think this has become more pronounced since I have become more aware of my possible effect on others. It could be that I was too psychotic in my thinking(although I don’t think so at the time) to be as aware of others reactions as I am now and this prevented the level of social anxiety I experience now.
If others have social anxiety how did the improvement in psychosis affect your social anxiety?

I had the opposite when acutely ill but then although I didn’t question the diagnosis I never went around thinking I was disturbed or odd . Maybe it was a case of partial lack of insight . What I do know is that I’ve gone in the opposite direction now and regularly entertain that people can pick up subtle signs that I’'m abnormal.
